TAG Racing reveal Cooper as first rider for their 2014 MCE BSB line up

Friday, November 29 2013

TAG Racing recently announced their progression into the MCE
Insurance British Superbike Championship and today (Friday) former
National Superstock 1000 champion Richard Cooper has been the first
rider to be confirmed in their 2014 line up.

Cooper has already made one off appearances in MCE BSB,
including a stunning debut front row qualifying start in his debut
race at Mallory Park in 2009. Cooper celebrated a title victory in
the National Superstock 1000 class in 2011 and has also experienced
World Championship level with races in the World Endurance
Championship. Cooper ended his 2013 season on a high at Brands
Hatch with a maiden race win in the Motorpoint British Supersport
Championship to finish his second season in seventh place in the
overall standings. TAG Racing will announce who will join Cooper as
their second MCE BSB rider in due course.

Cooper said: "The time feels right for me to move into Superbike
and I am really excited about 2014. I have raced across the
different classes and this is the perfect opportunity now for me to
step up with the TAG Racing team as we have a strong foundation
from working together in the Supersport class. The rules in
the Superbike Championship lend themselves to giving teams like us
the opportunity to try and take on some of the more established
teams and we are already working on the Kawasaki so that it suits
my style and that will bring confidence. The buzz at the moment is
about BSB and it feels great to know that we are going to be a part
of that next year. I have my targets for next year and we are
looking for a debut season that we can then build on and move
forward in the future."
